Vendor “Locations”

through the Vendor Portal.

  • The location defines the vendor’s business

rules – how the vendor wants to do business with New York State:

– The email address to receive purchase orders. – The bank account to receive payment. – Payment terms.

  • A vendor location DOES NOT mean payment

method (Check vs. ACH).

27

Vendor Locations (Cont.)

locations.

their corporate structure or business relationship with the State. For example:
